But the interesting tidbits left over from the interview include more of his comments about watching movies in their original aspect ratio. You can find them linked from the main article or go directly here:

He's a major widescreen proponent. Here's what he had to say about open-matte presentations as a compromise to pan and scan:

"Well, anything is better than pan and scan -- anything. But if I had my druthers, I'd give the option. Just put an extra disc in there and give the original matted version of whatever it is -- whether it's widescreen or whatever -- and then give the idiots their pan-and-scan version."He also talked about upcoming projects, his favorite DVDs, recording commentaries and more.
